Well, I was referring more to the asthetics and features, but that too, I suppose; even though they are split up, each process is managed more efficiently and trash ram is mostly a thing of the past. A good RAM cleaner ought to do the same thing as they purport, but it's nice to see something of the like actually built into the browser. Also, the fragmentation allows for killing of specific memory hogs, whereas in any other browser you need to kill the browser. If I use FF, IE, or Opera for extended periods of time, I've seen their memory use go as high as 300 MB. Not really a problem on this 3 GB of RAM, but my old had a bit above a gig so that was fairly significant. So, this fragmented approach will actually result in less, not more resources used because you have more control over how the broweser manages it, even to the point of having it's own task manager to deal with every aspect of the browser, which is pretty sweet.
